Wonderful gem of a place we found! Lovely charm, attentive servers (not always easy to find in Ville QC). & the food... We started with a fantastic French Onion soup, & shared a couple entrees: a yummy hamburger that was perfectly grilled, & a mushroom risotto that was out of this world. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was one of the best dishes I've ever tasted - all the creaminess & flavour you want from a risotto, with the added texture of some puffed rice, roasted pumpkin seeds & slivered almonds. Incredible meal.

This place is a hidden place off the usual tracks of tourists. I ordered an onion soup & a main dish. The onion soup was made ok but a bit too salty for my taste buds. Then, after some time, the waiter came & told me the chicken (my main dish) was sold out. That was like an hour after I ordered. Waiter was helpful but the experience was bad.

Must visit! We went here for lunch on a weekday after a long hike up & down the Montmercy falls.

We were seated next to a window (what a wonderful table!) & were served by Flora May. She was an exceptionally sweet, polite & frank server - didn't oversell, kept it real & all with a smiling face.

We had their French onion soup & Snails along with their house wine. The portions were good & the taste was just wow! It kept lingering. Had a nice French experience. Definitely recommend if you're around.

Fabulous restaurant not far from the main street.
Staff are attentive & friendly & happy to chat (despite how busy & popular the place is) & help with choices.
We both had French Onion Soup to start - a huge portion & incredibly tasty! We then had bavette & confit duck salad - again fabulous.
If you have room for dessert try the maple syrup pie - delicious!!
Totally recommend this exceptional find!

Wonderful little gem, just enough off the main drag to feel like a local favorite. Food was authentic & fresh & very well prepared. Simple but lovely presentation. Delicious & reasonably priced for the area.

Nous avons malgré tout bien mangé & les plats étaient bons. En revanche, l'accueil & l'attitude du personnel laissent à désirer. Le personnel était peu aimable &, après seulement 1h15 passées sur place, nous avons commencé à ressentir des regards insistants & oppressants, comme si nous étions invités à quitter notre table. Finalement, on nous a clairement fait comprendre qu'il était temps de partir. C'est dommage, car la qualité de la nourriture était au rendez-vous, mais l'expérience globale a été gâchée par l'accueil & le sentiment de ne pas être les bienvenus.
